Well done! You have taken on the challenge to ride for a great cause.

MY ROOM was founded in 1993 to support the Children's Cancer Centre at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. We support cancer research, improvement of physical facilities, employing a social worker and providing other much needed support to children with cancer and their families.

Our objective is for one day to have a 100% cure rate for children with cancer.

You will have fun joining celebrities such as former Tour de France Green jersey winner Robbie McEwen and Sam 'The Bachelor' Wood for a social ride for a good cause.

My Room believes in a future where no child suffers from cancer. Where there’s a cure rate of 100%. Where children experience no long-term physical or emotional harm from the illness, or the treatment. Where children don’t suffer set backs to their education or social development.Read more

My Room is a volunteer organisation dedicated to raising funds to achieve a 100 per cent cure rate for childhood cancers. Over the past 25 years, My Room has raised more than $17 million for childhood cancer research, clinical care, family support, and to improve the quality of life for children with cancer.

In 1992, a group of parents came together with the humble goal of raising enough money to renovate the rooms on the cancer ward of The Royal Children’s Hospital. They achieved that goal, and more.

In 1998, the same group of dedicated parents helped create the Children’s Cancer Foundation to act as an umbrella organisation for groups supporting pediatric cancer. My Room and the Children’s Cancer Foundation continue to work together, speaking with one voice, and acting with one vision, to make an impact in the fight against childhood cancer.

My Room is an all volunteer committee and has deductible gift recipient status, and is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.

My Room is committed to raising funds ethically and cost-effectively with an all volunteer committee, a part time bookkeeper and a dedicated following of volunteers who help us maximize our fundraising income. We receive no government funding. Funds are raised through our fundraising initiatives, corporate sponsorship, bequests and donations.

At a time when charity fundraising practices are being scrutinised, My Rooms low administration costs and efficient and ethical fundraising methods enable us to direct a greater proportion of donations directly to the projects we fund.
